I think I was, like, maybe frustrated for many years because I didn't try to direct. And since I made my movie I'm just like, 'It's great.

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.

I'm not a crazy old cat lady!

I think that everything is part of creativity - the more you create, the more you have ideas, and the more you meet people.

It seems like the more you grow up the more you fear things.

The perfect life would be to have an amazing part every year and to spend all my free time to just write.

I don't really care about making a big movie - I just want to make good ones.

It's so French to be a cat person.

I'm in love with love, so I'm always taking risks! I think it's part of love, taking risks.

I never practice before, I never work hours on a script. I just choose my characters and trust them, and after that, it's about the director taking your hand.

...being with you was so easy and natural - there was no strain - I never had to guard my words...

And when I perform on my own tour, I have to talk myself into going out on that stage every single night.

Im obsessed with vinyasa flow yoga and Pilates. And since I live in Sweden, and we have good seafood, I tend to cook a lot of fish, preferably with oven-roasted veggies and a cauliflower mash.

It's hope as a decision that makes change possible.

Much discussion of money involves a heavy overlay of priestly incantation.

I heard I'm going to have scenes with Lady Gaga so I'm hoping it's true. I know of one scene I have.

What is power without control?

One is only happy in proportion as he makes others feel happy and only useful as he contributes his influences for the finer callings in life.

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.

The lowest stage of humanity is experienced when the individual must labour for a small pittance of wages from others.
